the quality and usability of information 

collection instruments associated with 

research and analysis activities, 

including but not limited to the 

National Museum Survey, the Public 

Libraries Survey and the State Library 

Administrative Agencies Survey.

to identify questionnaire and procedural 

problems, suggest solutions, and 

measure the relative effectiveness of 

alternative solutions. 

Following standard OMB 

requirements, IMLS will submit a 

change request to OMB for each data 

collection activity undertaken under 

this generic clearance. IMLS will 

provide OMB with the instruments and 

supporting materials describing the 

research project and specific pre-testing 

activities.

V. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction 

On December 8, 2023, the Postal 

Service filed notice of revised versions 

of and updates concerning parties to 

Inbound Competitive PRIME Registered 

Service Agreement 1 (Agreement).1

II. Contents of Filing 

The Postal Service acknowledges that 

due to an oversight, revisions to the 

Agreement that went into effect on 

January 1, 2023, and July 1, 2023, 

respectively, were not timely notified to 

the Commission at least 15 days before 

the effective dates of the respective 

changes in accordance with 39 CFR 

3035.105. Notice at 2. The Postal 

Service also states that ‘‘it has taken 

action to correct future oversights by 

educating responsible team members on 

their responsibility to provide 

information to promote timely filing of 

changes to the Agreement.’’ Id. The 

Postal Service further states that it 

provides discussion ‘‘in greater detail’’ 

in the Notice regarding the oversight 

and the corrective action. Id. at 1. 

However, there is no such discussion in 

greater detail elsewhere in the Notice. 

With the Notice, the Postal Service 

filed: a redacted copy of Governors’ 

Decision No. 19–1 (Attachment 1); 

redacted copies of the revised versions 

of the Agreement that went into effect 

on January 1, 2023, and July 1, 2023, 

respectively (Attachments 2 and 3, 

respectively); a redacted table listing the 

parties to the Agreement as of November 

30, 2023 (Attachment 4); and a certified 

statement required by 39 CFR 

3035.105(c)(2) (Attachment 5). Notice at 

2; see id. Attachments 1–5. The Postal 

Service also filed redacted Excel 

versions of financial workpapers. Notice 

at 2. 

Additionally, the Postal Service filed 

unredacted versions of Attachments 1– 

4 and unredacted Excel versions of 

financial workpapers under seal. Id. The 

Postal Service filed an application for 

non-public treatment of materials filed 

under seal. Id. at 2–3; id. Attachment 6. 

The Postal Service lists the changes 

made in the revised versions of the 

Agreement that went into effect on 

January 1, 2023, and July 1, 2023, 

respectively. Notice at 3–4. The Postal 

Service states that the financial 

workpapers filed under seal show 

sufficient cost coverage for this 

Agreement. Id. at 4. 

III. Commission Action 

The Commission reopens Docket No. 

MC2020–73 for consideration of matters 

raised by the Notice. 

The Commission invites comments on 

whether the Postal Service’s filing is 

consistent with 39 U.S.C. 3632 and 3633 

and 39 CFR part 3035. Comments are 

due no later than December 27, 2023. 

The public portions of the filing can be 

accessed via the Commission’s website 

(http://www.prc.gov). 

The Commission appoints Katalin K. 

Clendenin to serve as Public 

Representative in this docket. 

IV. Order Requiring Further Action by 

the Postal Service 

The Governors of the Postal Service 

‘‘shall cause’’ each decision of rate or 

class not of general applicability and the 

record of the proceedings in connection 

with such decision ‘‘to be filed with the 

Postal Regulatory Commission by such 

date before the effective date of any new 

rates or classes as the Governors 

consider appropriate, but in no case less 

than 15 days.’’ 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3). 

Accordingly, the Commission 

regulations require the Postal Service to 

file notice of such decision at least 15 

days before the effective date of the 

change. 39 CFR 3035.105(a) (‘‘When the 

Postal Service determines to add or 

change a rate or class not of general 

applicability, it shall file notice of its 

decision with the Commission at least 

15 days before the effective date of the 

change.’’). In Order No. 4016, the 

Commission discussed the Postal 

Service’s previous pattern of untimely 

filing of the revisions to the predecessor 

version (a Market Dominant PRIME 

Registered Services Agreement), and in 

response to a Presiding Officer’s 

Information Request, the Postal Service 

identified several steps it took to ensure 

timely filing of future revisions.2 For 

purposes of the instant Agreement, it 

appears that these steps were not 

followed by the Postal Service, and they 

were insufficient to ensure timely filings 

notifying the Commission of 

modifications. 

As noted above, the Postal Service 

acknowledges that an oversight led to 

the extremely late filing of the Notice 

and states it has taken corrective action 

to promote timely filing in the future. 

Notice at 2. The Postal Service also 

states that it provides discussion ‘‘in 

greater detail’’ in the Notice regarding 

the oversight and the corrective action. 

Id. at 1–2. However, there is no such 

discussion in greater detail elsewhere in 

the Notice. In addition, the Postal 

Service did not file a motion for late 

acceptance of its Notice either prior to 

or concurrent with the Notice, as 

required by Commission regulations. 39 

CFR 3010.163. 

Additionally, the Commission 

observes that there appears to be 

discrepancies between the list of current 

parties to the Agreement in Attachment 

4 and the parties reflected with rates in 

the financial workpapers. Some 

countries that are listed in Attachment 

4 do not have rates reflected in the 

financial workpapers, some countries 

that are not listed in Attachment 4 have 

rates reflected in the financial 

workpapers, and one country listed in 

Attachment 4 is missing entirely in the 

financial workpapers. 

To remedy the deficiencies identified 

above, the Commission orders the Postal 

Service to: 

1. File a motion for late acceptance of 

its Notice no later than December 18, 

2023. 

2. In its motion for late acceptance: 

a. Discuss in greater detail what 

oversight led to the filing of the Notice 

almost 1 year later and 6 months later 

than the correct filing dates pursuant to 

39 CFR 3035.105, respectively, for the 

changes to the Agreement that went into 

effect on January 1, 2023, and July 1, 

2023, respectively. 

b. Discuss in greater detail what 

corrective action the Postal Service has 

taken (and will take) to prevent similar 

untimely filings in the future, including 

but not limited to, designating the Postal 

Service employee(s)(along with the 

individual’s name and title) responsible 

for monitoring whether a modification 

requires notification to Commission as 

well as the Postal Service employee(s) 

(along with the individual’s name and 

title) who will be accountable for 

ensuring timely filings notifying the 

Commission of such modifications in 

the future. 

c. Explain the apparent discrepancy 

between the list of current parties to the 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 241 / Monday, December 18, 2023 / Notices 87465 

Agreement in Attachment 4 and the 

parties reflected with rates in the 

financial workpapers and provide 

revised Attachment 4 and/or financial 

workpapers as necessary. 

V. Ordering Paragraphs 

It is ordered: 

1. The Commission reopens Docket 

No. MC2020–73 for consideration of the 

matters raised by the Postal Service’s 

Notice. 

2. Pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 505, Katalin 

K. Clendenin is appointed to serve as an 

officer of the Commission to represent 

the interests of the general public in this 

proceeding (Public Representative). 

3. The Postal Service shall file a 

motion for late acceptance no later than 

December 18, 2023. The motion shall 

include the content specified in the 

body of the Order. 

4. Comments are due no later than 

December 27, 2023. 

5. The Secretary shall arrange for the 

publication of this Order in the Federal 

Register. 

By the Commission.

provide additional opportunity for the 

public to consider the RFI and prepare 

comments to address the topics listed 

therein. Therefore, OSTP is reopening 

the comment period for the RFI from 

December 18, 2023 to January 12, 2024.
